'     This is a very short subprogram I made that will enable/disable
'the Num, Caps, and Scroll lock indicators on your keyboard.  All you
'have to do is to call the Keylite subprogram with a integer from 0 to
'7 and your keyboard lights will automatically adjust.  If you enter
'any other number using this subprogram, it will not do anything.  I
'have found that Keylite works successfully if the user presses a key,
'if Basic askes for a key (such as using Inkey$), or any other way you
'can think of to talk to the 8042-based keyboard controller chip.
'This has been successfully tested using a 101-key enhanced keyboard.
'This will not work on the original 83-key PC/XT keyboards that are
'not bidirectional.
